The summer holidays are a busy time at Heriot's and we've been delighted to welcome so many Former Pupils back to Heriot's for visits over the last few months.

The end of August signifies the end of the summer holidays, a return to school and of course the last few days of the Edinburgh Festival.

While there were no fireworks to mark the end of the Festival this year, here's a #throwbackthursday from 2014 where our school was lit up by fireworks when Edinburgh celebrated the end of the Edinburgh Festival.

If you are a Former Pupil and would like to pop into school for a visit, please contact the Development Team by e-mail on dev@george-heriots.com or by phone on 0131 221 6716. We hope to welcome you back to the school soon.
